Through young eyes

Missing image
answering her reflection
with a touch of rose
to lips of blue

and a hint of vanity
to cheeks ashen with age

    You really captured the essence of vanity's rouge. There's not much else I can say. The picture was definitely an excellent choice as well as the way you used the simplicity in your words to drew the reader in. Your ending was very powerful as you hit it home that youth and vanity are not the only pair here. Amazing job!
